Biography
Sally Wheet was born in Tampa, Florida, and she became the owner of "Sally's Bait and Tackle", a bar and fishing store in Tampa. Wheet had connections to bootlegger August Tucker and smuggler Bill McCoy, and McCoy introduced Wheet to Enoch Thompson in 1924 when Thompson decided to purchase 14,000 acres of land in Tampa. Thompson and Wheet became lovers, and Wheet constantly supplied Thompson with Caribbean rum that had been smuggled into Florida by McCoy. Wheet teased Mickey Doyle during one visit to New Jersey, although she would be invited to the hotel where Thompson was staying to have sex with him. She later warned him about Meyer Lansky and Vincenzo Petrucelli's betrayal of their deal when she discovered that they were smuggling heroin on the same trucks that brough liquor to Atlantic City.
